Plans for a three-building complex at the corner of West Trenton Avenue and Pine Grove Road in Falls Township’s Morrisville section will come before the zoning board Thursday night.
The board will meet at 7 p.m. in the Falls Township building on Lincoln Highway in Fairless Hills. The meeting is a continuation of a September zoning meeting on the site.

Buckingham Retail Properties LLC, the company that is looking to develop the site, is asking for several variances.
The current property, which holds an Acme, has been empty for approximately the past two years. The lot would receive a major makeover should the township approve the variances and final approval allowing the company to move forward with its plans. The over 57,000-square-foot Acme with 325 parking spaces would be demolished and transformed into a 24/7 Wawa convenience store with gas pumps, a Rite Aid Pharmacy and what is being called a “convenience restaurant” with a combined lot of 139 parking spaces.
Residents packed the zoning meeting in September and voiced their dismay with the plan.
